Hotels near Nishinari Kumin Center, Osaka

I was worried that the room was too small before I went there, but it turned out to be quite big! The bed should be 1.2m long, and basically what you see is what you get. We could put our small suitcases in it without any problems (the window of the standard room we stayed in could only be opened 10cm, so we couldn't go out to the balcony). It was also quite quiet and clean, and I didn't find any unknown hair or anything like that. Although the bathroom was not big, it had everything it should have. The door of the hotel was a hidden automatic black door, and I almost couldn't find the entrance when I first arrived. Check-in was very simple, and there was no other fee. The hotel is very close to Hanazonocho Station, and there is also an Oginochaya Station nearby, which is convenient for going to Namba, Umeda, Dotonbori, Kyoto, or Nara (to be honest, the subway fee is really expensive), and there are two larger supermarkets on the left and right, and there are Family Mart and McDonald's opposite. The location is quite satisfactory. I didn't expect to stay in such a hotel for less than 300. Attached is a picture of the window view taken from the room in the evening of the first day I arrived.

I didn't receive an email with my room number or check-in information on the day, so I called the hotel and managed to check in. When I asked through chat, they told me to check the reservation page, so I wondered if I could still check in. I was worried.

We stayed at Hotel Taiyo, I do see a lot of people posting positive reviews for Hotel Toyo here, that is a diffrent hotel and definitely not this one. The hotel is outdated, run down and in desperate need of renovation. The tile are old, worn and look like they have never been properly cleaned or waxed. The furniture is shabby and uncomfortable the bed springs where so prominent it left my hips and ankles aching. Our first night we went out and bought ourselves pillows as the ones here are unusable. There was also only one plug in the room so we had to spend even more for a power bar. The whole place was filthy with dirt and dust visible in every corner. The towels were dirty, and the bathroom was again unclean and permanently smelled of piss our whole stay. The amount of dust in the vents were slightly alarming from a safety standpoint. We also had major issues with internet 90% of the time. If you need internet for work you are SOL. The staff was professional and friendly, and the overall customer service was the only redeeming quality The location was great close the the main line station and the JR line. Overall, the hotel fell way below expectations and was a terrible experience that I would not recommend to anyone

High CP value for the good location and low price. Has everything I needed.. from the convenience stores. Able to purchase amenities from the counter as well. Friendly counter service. Women storey and men storey differ a lot in terms of quality and availability of services. Sauna from the hotel is only catered to the men. Women storey has doors with wide opening at the top, thus smoke smells travel easily. The bed curtain helps to reduce smell but the wrong and hallways always reek of cigarette despite being a non-smoking building 🤦🏻♀️ I do hope the management enforces this policy strictly.

My first stay during my first trip to Japan. It was Spring 2018. I was excited because my little room was a tatami floored room. The small room was a basic room for two guests. There was only one plug point to charge our many electrical gadgets, so oh boy im glad i brought along a plug socket with 4-5 outlets. The room was too small for even the two small Asians like us. we have no place to put our backpacks (there were only two bags but) once we spread the futons. This small room actually suitable for a single guest. The bathrooms and toilets are normally clean for Japanese standards. You have to pay separate charge for your towels. Our room situated on the 4 or 5th floor i cant remember but there was only one floor for lady's bathroom - the hostel got about 40 to 50 rooms but there are only 2-3 bathrooms for ladies to share. I woke up very early to take bath but was very disappointing to see the long queue of Japanese female workers who unable to go home and slept here for the night. Imagine the long hours i have to wait to get my turn. sometimes i tried to go to another level to try the unisex bathrooms but they were definitely full with guys. The pantry on the ground floor offered hot water with 3-in-1 drinks. there are vending machines for you to buy mineral water or soda or sweet drinks. The walls between the room are super thin and you can hear everything loud and clear. The door is made of steel so when someone close it with a bang it can be very annoying. Well we were kind of grateful (feeling console?) that the room got a mini fridge. And that the hostel is near to the train station. I'm coming back to Osaka soon but nope, I'm not going to coming back to this hostel just to get myself headaches for the bathrooms. The friend who booked this hostel for us thought we wanted the cheapest room in Osaka and she never asked us about the quality of the service. Well this is the negative side of coming to Japan in Spring i guess. Everything comes in expensive price.

Hotel in Osaka, Nishinari. Still new and clean. It is convenient to walk from Shin Imamiya Station. Stay in a single room for 3000 yen per night. Foreign guests stood out. The room is flooring with a narrow bed and a very small table and small ＴＶ and a refrigerator and spotlight and trash can. Toilet is joint. One floor (about 20 rooms). Since the wash is only one place in the toilet, it is inconvenient for toothbrushing or face washing. If it is crowded, it becomes a procession, and it becomes worried about the cheek. I left before 6 o'clock in the early morning, so there was no problem. The bath has a large bath and a shower room. Somehow, the large bath passes from the location pattern and the atmosphere with many foreigners and uses the shower. It is a negative point that I heard the voice from the surrounding room well, but it is 〇 with price and convenience.

I wish that I can lie about this hotel, saying all services are bad , so I can continue to enjoy lower price and availability when I’m back. Worth every penny I paid. Shower is good and room is nice enough for the price, cheap mattress but surprisingly comfortable, good bedding covers up all the insufficient, I will book again if I am in the area, and thank you to let me borrow the umbrella !

It's a little far from Tennoji Station, but it's not too difficult to walk. The building and rooms are clean and nice. Amenities and gowns must be brought up from the lobby and some are sold for a fee. I could hear trains going by at night, but it didn't bother me too much. It seems to vary from person to person. Breakfast was rice, miso soup, salad, and simple side dishes, and bread and orange juice were also prepared.

The owner was nice and there were a lot of Koreans, so I had a great time. A lot of information is shared! Tsutenkagu Tower is right in front, so if you use the Osaka Pass, you can take the slider in the morning, which is great. The Geha party was also fun :)

Good location, just less than 10min walk away from the main street of shinsaibashi. Affordable hotel breakfast and there is free drinks everyday that can refill
